Don't be afraid, fairy, I'm blind

Chapter 481 Relics of the Demon
You Su's fingertips suddenly stopped on the Qiankun bag that was glowing blue. The feeling from his palm was not the warm and spiritual light he had imagined, but a cold and hard metallic texture.

He stared at it, and the memories of that other world came flooding back like a tide. The originally vague fragments of memory suddenly connected together, outlining a real yet absurd world.

On the old TV in the orphanage and on the electronic watch in the small shop at the corner of the alley, this thing that can display characters with light is clearly a technological product from another world.

But why did it appear in Senior Sister Zixun's Qiankun bag? Why was it called "Tianxing Lingguang"?
Ji Lingruo moved closer, her green snake pupils reflecting the dim light of the screen, and she said in surprise: "The spiritual light actually exists! It can even glow!"

Ji Xueruo quietly put her fingers together and formed a seal, with a cold light flashing from her fingertips: "The aura is obscure, like a pearl and an array disk, what it is remains to be discussed."

You Su was in great shock and couldn't get out of it. He took a deep breath and lightly touched the edge of the screen with his fingertips.

Suddenly, there was a crackling sound of electricity, and the screen suddenly lit up. A line of distorted fluorescent characters flashed by along with an intermittent electronic synthesized sound - "Welcome to use... Xi...mi".

“Ah!” Ji Lingruo took a half step back in shock, her pupils erected due to nervousness, “It, it spoke! It’s alive!”

Ji Xueruo's fingertips trembled slightly, but she reacted very quickly: "The Qiankun bag can't hold living things, but it is still alive. Could it be some kind of ancient spirit?"

You Su was stunned. The intermittent electronic synthesized sound and the flickering light spots proved without a doubt that this was not a product of this world of immortal cultivation.

But why does it appear here?

You Su's throat tightened. He had never imagined that the technological world in his vague memories of his past life would be connected to the world of cultivation he was currently in.

This electronic screen was brought out by the Immortal Zhengyang. Does he know what it is? Or does he simply think it is something magical and bring it out as the final prize?
And most importantly, where did it come from?

You Su felt his heart was in turmoil, and at that moment the screen suddenly flickered violently, and the sound of electricity was as sharp as the snow screen on an old TV.

"What's wrong with it?!" Ji Lingruo asked anxiously, obviously not wanting to let his senior brother lose this opportunity.

"Don't panic."

You Su hurriedly held her wrist. For a moment, he didn't know how to explain the origin of this thing to his junior sister and Miss Xueruo.

And he didn't want to let the two women fall into too much confusion before he solved the mystery. "It...it may be some kind of dusty weapon soul, but the way it works is strange."

Ji Lingruo nodded blankly, while Ji Xueruo kept looking at her with a frown.

Fortunately, the flickering of the screen did not continue. You Su took the opportunity to touch the screen with his fingertips and found that this was not just a simple electronic screen, but more likely a control panel of something.

But the 1% that was marked red and flashing in the upper right corner informed You Su of its precarious battery level.

Just when You Su thought it could hold on for a while longer, the light screen flashed and the screen went out completely.

"Is it... asleep?" Ji Lingruo looked at the dead 'Lingguang', unable to hide her disappointment.

"He should be sleeping temporarily." Ji Xueruo looked at You Su's absent-minded look and knew that You Su should understand this 'inspiration' better than them.

You Su could no longer listen to what they were saying. All he could think about was the shutdown screen that popped up when he turned off the screen just now.

It was actually a photo, and it was a group photo with everyone smiling brightly.

But what sent the most chill down his spine was that he had met every person in the photo.

After being dragged into the dream by Kong Yan at the Kongyuan Divine Mountain, in the eighth level of the dream, he witnessed from the perspective of a bystander the scene of the five great immortal ancestors appearing out of nowhere five thousand years ago and fighting against the extraterritorial demons that came riding the ancient Kunpeng.

The scene was so shocking that he still remembers it clearly.

And those extraterritorial demons who are leading the group are exactly the people in this photo!
You Su still remembered his impression of these extraterritorial demons when he first saw this picture - they were dressed in strange clothes, most of them had short hair, and used magical weapons that he had never seen before.

But after seeing this electronic screen, more memories of his past lives were awakened, and he realized that the strange clothes in his eyes were only relative to the five continents.

Those 'magic weapons' that seemed to him like soul-summoning banners were actually technological weapons that were simply unimaginable in this world.

The most terrifying thing is... the so-called ancient Kunpeng is not a living creature at all! It is clearly a starship that covers the sky and the sun!

People always try to use known things to explain unknown things, so people at that time would think that the strange starship was the ancient Kunpeng, just as Miss Xueruo now regards this talking panel as a spirit of the instrument...

Thinking of this, You Su's breathing suddenly stopped, his fingertips unconsciously pinched into his palms, and his worldview was undergoing a drastic change at this moment.

The demons from outer space...Yes, how can they not be considered demons from outer space?

There must be more information hidden in this panel. You Su immediately wanted to continue searching, but then he remembered that it had been turned off at an inopportune time.

He tried again several times, but could not turn it on again except for a charging icon lighting up the panel.

After a brief loss, there was a great shock, and the shock made You Su extremely excited. He could feel that a real world was about to surface, and if he wanted to continue exploring the truth, he must solve the problem of charging this panel.

"Charge……"

You Su muttered to himself, his fingertips rubbing over the darkened panel. The numbing feeling from the electric current still lingered on his fingertips, as if it was a brief touch from another world.

It was the first time for the two girls to see You Su in such a trance, his eyes lingering on the young man and the object with a cold metallic glow.

"Ms. Xueruo, you are proficient in magic, but do you know any magic related to thunder?" You Su suddenly looked up and his eyes fell on the cold, elegant and noble Ji Xueruo.

"Thunder magic? It is possible... You want me to use thunder magic to activate this spiritual light?" Ji Xueruo was smart and immediately guessed what You Su wanted her to do.

"Yes, this thing feeds on electricity, and thunder magic may be able to activate it."

Ji Xueruo frowned slightly, "But the thunder method is overbearing, are you sure it can withstand it?"

You Su was stunned when he heard this, and then he calmed down, thinking that he was too excited and had a crazy idea that thunder magic could charge the panel. If it was really damaged by lightning, it would be an irreparable loss.

"I was so anxious that I lost my mind. Thank you Miss Xueruo for reminding me." You Su forced a fearful smile and thanked her sincerely.

Ji Xueruo sensed You Su's mood and couldn't help asking, "What on earth is this? Why can it speak like a living thing, but without any..." "This is something from the outer demon five thousand years ago."

You Su did not hide anything and looked directly into two completely different pairs of eyes - Ji Lingruo's emerald pupils suddenly shrank, and Ji Xueruo's dark-black pupils began to ripple.

"What I can tell you is that the group of extraterritorial demons five thousand years ago were not the demon cultivators we imagined, but came from... another world."

The candlelight in the hall suddenly flickered. Ji Lingruo subconsciously clenched his wrist. Even Ji Xueruo felt a chill in his feet because of these words.

"Their magic tools, clothing, and even mounts are all different from the immortals and demons we know. And this panel, which is the 'Heavenly Awakening Light' that people are scrambling for, is exactly what they left behind."

“Demon relic…” Ji Lingruo took a breath of cold air, “Could it be that the secret to breaking through the Heavenly Awakening Realm lies in this demon relic?”

"I'm afraid it's more than that." You Su quietly tightened the panel and said in a serious tone, "You all know my experience very well, and you should all understand that there are many mysteries about me. As long as you study this demon relic thoroughly, not only will the mysteries about me be solved, but also the secrets about evil spirits, immortal ancestors, and God... all will have answers!"

After letting the two women relax for a while, You Su continued, "Five thousand years ago, the Immortal Ancestor appeared out of nowhere. After the Immortal Ancestor taught the way to immortality and ascended to heaven, along with the appearance of immortal cultivators, evil spirits also began to appear. And the history books only start to record from five thousand years ago, and the history before that is often vague and chaotic. Five thousand years ago is like a watershed. If we want to find out what happened back then, if we can't start with the Immortal Ancestor who is high above and controls everything, then we should start with the defeated demons back then!"

Ji Xueruo's face was more solemn than ever after hearing this. With her knowledge, she naturally understood the importance of this demon relic. It was very likely to subvert the entire Five Continents! However, she was extremely proud in her bones and was not frightened by the weight. On the contrary, like You Su, she felt an irrepressible excitement.

She lowered her voice, "But it's broken now, isn't it?"

You Su did not deny it. Seeing this, Ji Lingruo clenched her fists anxiously, "What should we do? We finally got it, we can't just watch it turn into scrap metal, right?"

"There is a way. This thing feeds on electricity, but it is not ordinary electricity. If you are not careful, its internal structure may be damaged. So either find a great man who has practiced thunder magic to the pinnacle..."

"Reverend Heng Lian! He is the best thunder master in the Five Continents!"

Ji Lingruo answered immediately after hearing this, but she regretted it right after she said it. The person least likely to help You Su today was this Henglian Master, so she stuck out her tongue and said, "Forget it, I can't trust anyone else, so let's wait for my sister to cultivate to the Void State."

You Su suddenly laughed, and his tense heartstrings relaxed because of Ji Lingruo's playfulness: "If we look at the long term, we can only place our hopes on Miss Xueruo."

Ji Xueruo raised her eyebrows slightly, "You just said no, does that mean there is another way?"

"Since it is a relic of the Heavenly Demon, to activate it, we naturally need the power of the Heavenly Demon. Finding the corpse of Kunpeng is the most likely way to activate it. However, after five thousand years, no one knows where Kunpeng's corpse fell, so this method may be difficult..."

"Do not."

Before You Su could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ji Xueruo's crisp voice.

You Su raised his head suddenly and met her burning gaze: "Ms. Xueruo... do you know the location of Kunpeng's corpse?"

The hall was suddenly as quiet as ice. Ji Xueruo took a deep breath and nodded heavily:
"Kunpeng is an ancient mythical beast, and it is of the same origin as the demon race. So the corpse of Kunpeng was hidden in Dongying Continent by the Immortal Ancestor Xing Zhao!"

Ji Lingruo opened her beautiful eyes slightly, "How did sister know?"

Ji Xueruo glanced at her sister, then glanced at You Su, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. However, she still couldn't resist the concerned looks from the two people:

"After the South China Sea Incident, I received a decree from the Xingzhao Divine Mountain Immortal Ancestor Temple. The decree said that I had been recognized by Xingzhao Immortal Ancestor and that I could enter Kunpeng Cave Heaven to seek opportunities."

"Kunpeng Cave? There is no Kunpeng clan in Japan. This Kunpeng Cave must be closely related to the Kunpeng of that year." Ji Lingruo said confidently.

Ji Xueruo nodded slightly, "Yes, the messenger specifically told me not to spread this matter. If the outsiders knew the secret of Kunpeng Cave Heaven, the demon race would be in danger."

"This Kunpeng Cave has remained mysterious until now, which shows that there are only a handful of people throughout history who can be recognized by the Immortal Ancestor Xing Zhao. But Miss Xueruo refused this opportunity that others could not even think of?" You Su pursed his lips lightly and could not help but take a step closer to the girl.

"How do you know I refused?" Ji Xueruo was a little surprised.

"I said..." Ji Lingruo surrendered timidly.

"You! Didn't I tell you not to tell him?" Ji Xueruo felt even more ashamed and annoyed. "You haven't even gotten married yet, and you're already turning your elbow outward!"

"How can we turn away? Aren't we all family..." Ji Lingruo muttered.

"Xueruo."

You Su called out to Ji Xueruo, who was about to scold her sister, and his eyes were as gentle as water. He knew that Ji Xueruo had paid a lot to find him, but he didn't know that she even gave up such an opportunity because of him. He felt even more tender in his heart and pretended to hold the girl's hand.

"Thank you."

Ji Xueruo felt a little uncomfortable with You Su being so close to her in front of her sister. She subconsciously took a step back, but Ji Lingruo grabbed her wrist first.

The girl in the green skirt held her sister's hand with one hand and You Su's hand with the other, puffed up her cheeks and said:
"Don't be so cheesy in front of me. The most important thing now is that my sister has already rejected the invitation from the Immortal Ancestor Temple. How can I get the chance to enter Kunpeng Cave Heaven again?"

The dim candlelight illuminated the three people who were closely holding each other. You Su was deeply moved by his junior sister's seemingly stingy but actually generous matchmaking.

Although Ji Xueruo couldn't help feeling embarrassed and turned her head slightly, her tightly clenched hands revealed her thoughts.

"Sister, can you please write a letter to the Immortal Ancestor Temple again, saying that you are willing to go there again?"

Ji Lingruo also squeezed her sister's hand, and the affection between the sisters was silent.

"The Immortal Ancestor Temple is not a place for trifling. Miss Xueruo has already made it clear that she has refused. If she goes back on her word, it will probably cause disgust in the Immortal Ancestor Temple, and people will think that Miss Xueruo is a fickle person." You Su looked at Ji Xueruo with concern.

Ji Xueruo didn't expect that You Su cared about her reputation first. She sighed lightly and became more determined:

"If we can enter Kunpeng Cave Heaven, none of this will matter. But even if I want to regret it, given our current status as a snake clan, even if we submit a petition, it will not be handed over to the Immortal Ancestor, but to the several great demon clans that rule the Divine Mountain. If we want the Immortal Ancestor Temple to accept it directly, we must first go to the Divine Mountain."

"After all this twists and turns, it seems we still have to get the snake tribe back to the sacred mountain first."

The young man smiled, but held the girl's other hand again.
